Welcome back, RotoBallers! Tonight, we have an eight-game slate, headlined by the Celtics at the Knicks on TNT. These articles focus on the best plays, typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate. The key to succeeding in NBA DFS is making adjustments during the […]

Keon Johnson To Be Rested Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Keon Johnson (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has been ever-present for the Nets since Nov. 22, and the team has decided to give him some rest. D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has also been ruled out for Tuesday's contest, leading to many additional playing opportunities […]

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain. Reece Beekman has just logged his first career […]

Trae Young Tagged As Probable For Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's reasonable to assume Young will play, as he has been on the injury report with right Achilles tendinitis all season, while missing only a handful of games. Young saw his season-best double-double streak come to an […]

Miles McBride Likely To Play Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's big tilt against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, McBride returned to action following an eight-game absence, but he is still listed on the injury report with a groin problem. If McBride is dealt a setback ahead of Tuesday's […]

Jalen Brunson Probable For Tuesday Evening

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable With Knee Issue

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been listed on the injury report with left knee effusion. If he can't shake off the questionable tag, Vincent would miss only his second game since the beginning of February. The backcourt may also be […]

Jrue Holiday Probable For Tuesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is probable for Tuesday's encounter with the New York Knicks. The veteran continues to battle a right shoulder issue. However, it likely won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday night. Holiday has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in two meetings with the Knicks this season. […]

Derrick White Expected To Suit Up Versus New York

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. The toe injury is nothing new. Fortunately, he hasn't missed a game since March 15. White has averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in three meetings with New York this season. However, with Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), […]

Austin Reaves Uncertain For Tuesday's Action

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) may exit the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Reaves has sprained his right ankle, which might cost him his fourth game since the start of March. The Lakers have a lengthy injury […]

Luka Doncic Iffy For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been added to the injury report with a right groin strain and may take some time off to rest as the Lakers begin another back-to-back on Tuesday night. LeBron James (groin) and Austin […]

Kyle Lowry Active Against Heat

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will be active for Monday's matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran floor general, who recently turned 39, will make only his second appearance since Feb. 9. Lowry has been managing a right hip injury for several weeks. When he returned from a 23-game absence last Tuesday against […]

Keon Ellis Upgraded To Available

Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis (hand) will be in action on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Following Sunday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ellis has been nursing a sore right hand and was initially regarded as questionable for Monday's game. Sunday's contest marked Ellis' ninth consecutive start. As a member of the first unit, he […]

Alec Burks Good To Go Against 76ers

Miami Heat guard Alec Burks (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran has been dealing with a back issue but is ready to make his 11th consecutive appearance. Burks was outstanding on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 24 points. However, his offensive role […]

Tyler Herro Available Against Philadelphia

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) will return to action on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Herro's status has been upgraded from questionable to available. He is ready to rejoin the fun after missing Saturday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a thigh contusion. Herro has been on fire for the past couple of […]

Coby White Won't Play On Tuesday Against Cavs

On Tuesday, Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (rest) won't play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. White hasn't missed a game since January 27 but will have the night off to rest. The 25-year-old has been taking on heavy minutes lately, logging 35 minutes in his last outing against the Hornets. Tuesday's matchup is the first leg of […]

Tyler Herro May Miss Monday's Game Against 76ers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) has been listed as questionable ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right thigh contusion. He has played some heavy minutes this season, as he averages more than 37 minutes per game so far in April, including 10 games this season with 40 or more […]

Keon Ellis Uncertain To Play Against Pistons

Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis (hand) has been a popular addition down the stretch of the fantasy basketball season, but has been listed as questionable for the team's Monday night game against the Detroit Pistons. The scrappy, defensive guard has only missed two games this season and played 39 minutes in their last contest against […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Monday, 4/7/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With less than a week left in the regular season, the NBA starts the work week with just two games on Monday's main slate. The Kings are in the Motor City to take on the Pistons, while the 76ers are in South Beach to take on the Heat. Even though there are only four teams […]

Jalen Brunson Officially Back Versus Phoenix

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's matchup with the Suns. He's been sidelined for a month after tweaking his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Miles McBride (groin), Cameron Payne (ankle), and most recently, Delon Wright, had been filling in. However, even though Brunson […]

Anfernee Simons Out Again On Sunday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs. In addition to Simons, Deni Avdija (thumb), Jerami Grant (knee), Deandre Ayton (calf), and Scoot Henderson (concussion) are also sidelined. As a result, Toumani Camara (ankle), who is available, Dalano Banton, and Shaedon Sharpe are the favorites to lead the […]

Immanuel Quickley Resting Versus The Nets

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) won't play against the Nets on Sunday afternoon. Quickley may only suit up just a few more times before the Raptors call it a year. But as far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Jamal Shead, who had 10 points and two steals in his last start, should once again […]

D'Angelo Russell Sidelined On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Raptors. The Nets have five games left on the schedule. However, Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's possible Russell is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Cameron Johnson (back) also […]

Ja Morant A Late Scratch On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday versus Detroit. He wasn't listed on the injury report throughout the day on Saturday. However, Morant won't suit up due to an illness. The late scratch is certainly frustrating for DFS participants and fantasy managers. But his absence should result in increased production from Desmond […]

Cade Cunningham Cleared To Suit Up On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) will suit up on Saturday against Memphis after missing the last six games because of a calf contusion. It's possible the 23-year-old plays fewer than the 35 minutes he's averaged throughout the 2024-25 campaign, but that doesn't mean he should be left out of fantasy lineups. With that in […]

Tyler Herro Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) won't play on Saturday versus the Bucks. Herro recently had 35 points and nine rebounds in Thursday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he will miss Saturday's contest because of a thigh contusion. Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is also out, so Kel'el Ware, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson, and Davion Mitchell […]

Cameron Payne Back On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (ankle) will return from his four-game absence for Saturday's game against Atlanta. It's unknown if he'll see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff. But with Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis) still out, Payne will come off the bench behind Delon Wright, likely resulting […]

Jalen Brunson Out On Saturday, Expected To Play On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. However, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, he's expected to return from his month-long absence on Sunday versus the Suns. Fortunately, Cameron Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench, likely meaning significantly less work for […]

Cade Cunningham Expected To Play Versus Memphis

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies. He's missed the last six games because of a calf contusion. As a result, Dennis Schroder has been filling in at the one, most recently amassing 16 points, seven assists, and one steal in Friday's 117-105 win over the Toronto […]

Trae Young Available On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Saturday versus the visiting Knicks. Despite routinely appearing on the injury report throughout the season because of right Achilles Tendinitis, the former Oklahoma Sooner has only missed five games. He's had another quality year, averaging 24.1 points and 11.6 assists. Yet, Young has been even more […]
